Chapter 2302 Can’t Afford to Offend
Wang Xuance lifted Han Wei up and comforted him.
"Is there a reason?" Han Wei was speechless when he heard that Prince Ji had a reason for killing people.
What kind of logic is this? Is there any reasonable reason for killing someone?
"Oh~~ General Han, let's talk while we walk." Wang Xuance shook his head and sighed, walking forward.
Han Wei hurriedly followed, wanting to hear the reason.
"General Han, you don't know that our prince is sick." Wang Xuance said in a low voice.
"Are you sick?" Han Wei was stunned. He couldn't tell.
Wang Xuance nodded:
“Yes, the prince is indeed ill, he has a brain disease, and he has had it since he was a child.
When the disease occurs, he becomes very irritable and angry and does some crazy things.
Even the legendary doctor Sun Simiao from Chang'an City had treated the prince, but unfortunately there was no improvement.
Doctor Sun once said that the prince's illness can only be prevented. He should not be exposed to excessive stimulation or have great emotional ups and downs, otherwise he will easily become ill.
And I just got sick.
The prince loved money. When he learned that the money here had been plundered, he was very angry and led his troops to attack for thousands of miles.
So I hope General Han can recover the money from Prince Ji’s Mansion, otherwise it will be very troublesome.”
Wang Xuance spoke very seriously, which also explained the seriousness of the matter.
"I see. Mr. Wang, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to His Royal Highness Prince Ji's trust and recover the treasure."
After listening to Wang Xuance's explanation, Han Wei suddenly realized that he had heard that Prince Ji was greedy for money.
If you have a brain disease, it is understandable that you will get sick because of money.
I can only blame myself for being unlucky.
"Come here, go and call Niu Er." Wang Xuance ordered the guards.
"Master Wang, I wonder how much money was plundered from His Highness Prince Ji? This will give me an estimate."
At this time, Han Wei asked in a low voice.
"You'd have to ask Niu Er about the exact amount. I only heard it was over a million strings of cash."
Wang Xuance shook his head.
Soon Niu Erjiu was brought over. Seeing Wang Xuance, he quickly stepped forward and saluted:
"I have met Mr. Wang."
"This is General Han, the general here. Please tell General Han about the plundering of the royal residence."
Wang Xuance introduced to Niu Er.
"I'm honored to meet General Han." Niu Er quickly saluted Han Wei.
"Well, tell me how the property of Prince Ji's Mansion was plundered." Han Wei nodded.
"Yes, that was shortly after the army entered the city..."
Niu Er agreed and began to narrate what happened that day. When officers and soldiers came to the door, he revealed his identity as the Prince Ji's mansion.
They coveted the money and wanted to kill people to silence them, but they managed to escape death by chance.
Han Wei frowned more and more as he listened. The thing he feared most had happened. If the other party did not reveal his identity, he could still find an excuse.
But Niu Er just said that he had already revealed the identity of the Ji Wang Mansion to the officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers were tempted by the money and became greedy.
In the end, he didn't even tell these generals about this matter. Was he trying to kill them?
"Niu Er, do you know how much treasure they stole?" Wang Xuance asked.
"Reporting to the Chief Secretary, there are 700,000 to 800,000 strings of copper coins and gold alone, and hundreds of boxes of rare treasures.
I estimate that it is at least 1.5 million strings of cash.
These were exchanged from passing merchants over the years, and this happened when they were about to be shipped back to Chang'an.
Furthermore, several of our men were killed by them, and no one knows where their bodies are. "
As Niu Er spoke, his expression became gloomy and tears welled up in his eyes. He once again thought of his colleagues who had covered his departure.
"Alas, I never thought that they would come all the way here to work for my Ji Wangfu, but end up dying in a foreign land.
The prince has always been kind to his subordinates, and no one knows how sad he is.
Erniu, don't worry. General Han will definitely take care of it for you and catch the murderer. His Royal Highness Prince Ji will also bring justice to you.
His Royal Highness Prince Ji will compensate you when you return." Wang Xuance sighed and comforted Niu Er.
"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice." Han Wei also nodded and promised.
When he heard that Prince Ji was very sad, he suddenly became nervous again.
{Thank you, General Han, and thank you, Chief Secretary Wang.} Niu Er immediately bowed in thanks.
"Okay, Niu Er, you take General Han to that house and help him identify the thief and avenge his dead colleague."
Finally, Wang Xuance gave an order to Niu Er.
Niu Er immediately nodded and accepted the order:
"Yes, Mr. Wang."
Wang Xuance nodded, then sent Han Wei and Niu Er out, and then returned to the front hall.
"gone?"
Li Shen found a cushion to support his back and half lay on the ground.
"Your Highness, General Han has passed away. Your Highness is wise, and I admire you deeply."
Wang Xuance came in and flattered with a smile.
“Alas, this king has no other choice. This is the most time-saving method.
They said they knew nothing about it. Do they really think I am a fool?
Even if they don’t know that it is my property, they know that there is a large amount of money.
It was impossible for those barbarian soldiers to embezzle such a huge fortune, and most of it had to be handed over to their superiors.
All of them have a share, and I wonder if Ashina She'er also got a share."
Li Shen sighed. He also wanted to save time, so he found Han Wei as a scapegoat.
He didn't want to spend the winter here. He was thinking that if nothing happened, he would go back to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year.
"Your Highness, what about Guo Xiaoke and Qibi Heli? What if Ashina She'er really got a share of the money?"
Wang Xuance came and sat down next to Li Shen and asked.
"As long as my money is returned, I will let it go.
Xuan Ce, although I have an iron head, my brain is not damaged.
These three are all meritorious officials of the Tang Dynasty, two are dukes and one is a county duke, and I am not stupid.
Even if we want to touch them, we have to go back and let His Majesty do it. I cannot do it.
That Ashina She'er is my uncle. Can I really kill him?
And Qibi Heli, I heard he also married a princess from the royal family, right, Shitou?"
Li Shen turned his head and looked at the stone.
Shitou nodded quickly and said,
"Your Highness is right. Qibi Heli married the Princess of Lintao County, a member of the imperial family."
Li Shen turned his head and looked at Wang Xuance helplessly, spreading his hands:
"You see, Qibi Heli is also the son-in-law of the royal family. He is the representative of the marriage between Tiele and the royal family. Moreover, this guy is very loyal to Your Majesty.
You forgot that when he was captured by Tiele, he cut off one of his ears with his own hands to show that he would not rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
In order to save him, His Majesty exchanged the princess for his life.
If I kill someone like that, wouldn't His Majesty raid Prince Ji's mansion and move all my treasures to the inner treasury?
As for Guo Xiaoke...he was a founding hero and had made great achievements in the Anxi Protectorate. We were counting on him to come back and govern Anxi.
Alas, I can’t afford to offend anyone.”
